Cradles welcomes the community to the last AMA before Christmas. In the spirit of the Holidays, Cradles extends their sincere gratitude to the Cradian community for their support and hopes everyone has enjoyed the events so far and reminds the community to stay tuned for more. Keep an eye on the leaks channel in the Cradles’ discord for the latest sneak peaks.
Before jumping into the questions, Cradles has an update on progress. All issues related to contracts have been solved, and a new function that allows users to change the background of their NFT has been added. This will take a few days and then the Dragontar will be ready for launching.
Also, Cradles prepared gifts for Dragontar owners. Christmas accessories will be available after a few tasks are completed. More details will be released on this soon and these will be announced in the discord. We have new items, hats, and even Christmas sweaters, and now we move onto community questions.
IS THERE AN ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM OR TITLE FOR COMPLETING TASKS IN GAME?
The community wants to know if an achievement system or titles will be available to players based on accomplished quests and the short answer is yes. We recommend all levels of players join the game and play.
WHERE IS CRADLES PROGRESS AT NOW?
Cradles will soon wrap up the private round of fundraising, then we will leak the gameplay videos. The team members and KOLs have been doing some playing, and we will leak their gameplay videos soon. There are so many crypto players ready and waiting to play the game. Our development is so much further beyond what other projects have right now in the market. While other projects are shilling games that don’t even exist yet or are just bad games, Cradles has already finished the PvP and PvE gameplay. We are moving on to adding more game content, so leaks and videos will be out soon. The community will be pleasantly shocked.
HOW WILL CRADLES CREATE A BALANCED GAME ECONOMY?
Given that the number of players will increase, sometimes the increase in circulating resources in the game throws the economy off balance.
The increase in players is of course, a good thing, but Axie’s design idea actually has a big paradox and we have discussed this previously. They rely too much on the NFTs issued by the team. If all games focus on and issue NFTs, then high NFT prices will prevent new players from entering the game, because new players don’t want to lose money.
There are many ways to solve this problem. First of all, Cradles will not saturate the market with too many NFTs. This is why we postponed the NFT sale originally scheduled for last month.
We first solve the problem of NFT supply by providing blueprints to players. We give players the function of issuing NFTs and allow players to trade freely, while the team tries not to intervene. Players can create their own NFTs according to drawings or plans.
Second, our NFT does not directly limit the quantity, but will not exist indefinitely. This means that users can only obtain the NFT related to a specific animal during a certain period of time. After the animal is extinct, users will not be able to obtain the NFT related to it, which indirectly determines the quantity.
In addition, NFT props will be upgraded to more powerful props through missions and explorations. This consumes the previous NFT, and essentially reduces the number but increases the value. This is the way of nature, and the way it will work in Cradles.
Traditional game players will also enter our game, so the entire game is not only for crypto users, but also for traditional game communities. Therefore, the ecology of the entire game will be entirely composed of producers played by P2E players and consumers played by traditional game players. The less the development team participates in the game, the more stable the entire economic system will be.
This is a game that belongs to the entire community.
CAN WE FORM PARTIES IN THE GAME TO ACCOMPLISH TASKS AS A TEAM?
Cradles strongly encourages players to team up to hunt. This will provide users with additional experience and rewards that can be distributed amongst the party. If a game can be played by one player only, there is no need to make it an online game.
WILL ALL NFT EQUIPMENT, IN GAME OR IN MARKETPLACE, DETERIORATE IF NOT USED?
The short answer is, yes. We are still improving the rust mechanism. According to our internal test next year, the mechanism may be changed a little bit, but it will be somewhat like this.
WHAT ARE THE PLANS REGARDING NFT SALES?
Cradles is trying to avoid selling too many NFTs in the very early stage, even though we know that it will benefit the team and collect more money. Every time a game sells a key asset, the game will die faster.
If we sell a lot of NFTs prematurely, players will turn their attention to NFTs, so that the paradox mentioned before will be formed immediately. If the price of an NFT does not rise, early users have been deceived. If the price of NFT rises, new users will refuse to enter the game for fear of losing money.
So Cradles made a trade-off. Cradles chose the latter in the short-term which has huge long-term benefits. We hope to create a balanced Metaverse where crypto players can make money and traditional game players can enjoy the game.
CAN PLAYERS KILL EACH OTHER OUTSIDE THE CITY?
We suggest all players team up, because yes, outside the city players can kill each other. This will not happen in the novice place. Gamers can pay crystals for game time, and then they can do whatever they want in the game.
WILL THE CRADLES MINI GAMES EXIST FOR LONG PERIODS?
We are still working on the mini game because we want to make it perfect. We will come up with a Cradles mini game playground to let users enjoy the mini-games with Dragontars.
WHEN WILL THE MINI GAME BE RELEASED?
Hopefully in January 2022, we are really sorry that we need to postpone the release of our mini game. It does take some time to make, but rest assured, the progress of our main game has not been affected at all.
HAS THE TEAM RAISED ENOUGH FOR THE GAME DEVELOPMENT AND SIDE CHAIN?
The short answer is, yes. Excluding IDO funds, the current seed round and private round funds can allow our entire team to continue to develop for 3 years.
The scale of the IDO should also be larger. The charging mode of our game is also different. We don’t raise funds through high price NFT sales. Players pay for the game time through crystals.
If we get your support, we will use all the funds for development, promotion, and feedback to users. We mentioned that we will set up a DAO and let the community participate in every aspect of the game.
This is a community game, not a big whale game, nor a P2E Guilds game. We will focus more on the token instead of the NFT. Cradles will leave the NFTs to players, who can create them on their own and make profits on their own, by only paying for the game time.
CAN WE TRAVEL BOTH FORWARD AND BACK IN TIME? IF SO, CAN WE BRING ITEMS/NFTs FROM THE PAST TO FUTURE AND VICE VERSA THROUGH TIME TRAVEL?
Since in Cradles, players earn certain time specific NFTs when they interact with objects and monsters, and players can also travel forward and backward in time, some users want to understand if they can bring NFTs from one time period to another.
The short answer is, no. Once the game progresses to the next era, all game participants will not be able to obtain NFTs from other eras, in that way we guarantee that the number of NFTs from the previous era will not increase.
Users can spend the crystals to go back in time, but users cannot bring the NFT of the past to the future world or vice versa. In this way, we ensure that the number of NFTs is gradually decreasing, and the value of NFTs will continue to increase. For example, you cannot increase the number of dinosaur fossils in this world in any way from modern civilization. More rules and details will come out in the updated whitepaper.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN THE WHITEPAPER SAYS ‘ANY INDIVIDUAL CAN PROVIDE GAME CONTENT?’
Cradles will offer opportunities for the community to make proposals and create their own blueprint of the items in the game.
CAN PLAYERS USE NFT AVATARS FROM OTHER PROJECTS IN CRADLES WORLD?
Interesting question, they better not. 😉
ARE THERE ANY GUIDELINES FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE GAME CONSTRUCTION?
If users are familiar with any aspect of game modeling, painting, design, front-end, or back-end, send emails to support@cradles.io and we will consider it.
CONCLUSION
Thanks for tuning in to our AMA! We hope you enjoyed and learned a lot from it. On behalf of the team we would like to wish all Cradians a happy holiday from our family to yours. Enjoy and be merry!
